5. The Men Who Stare at Goats
4. Public Enemies
3. The Final Destination
2. Whiteout
1. Jennifer's Body

Wow - Hated Jennifer's Body that much? I thought it was a blast. I was a little disappointed because the trailer showed you EVERYTHING, but that's just bad advertising. I'm going ti give it some more time and watch it again.

...

So I just watched The Children last night and I have to add it to my Runners Up list... FANTASTIC horror film. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a quality indie horror flick.

Yeah I thought Jennifer's Body was good for what it was..

And yeah the Children is a great creepy little film - hard to feel sorry for such unlikableadults though :-)

Well, I mostly identified with the blond mother (whom I think we're supposed to identify with)... And while the parents were definitely unlikeable, they weren't unlikeable to a point where I thought they "deserved" what they got... I still found it horrifying. Even if I don't like a character, I can still be horrified when they're horrified, unless their character crosses a point in their personality where I think they "deserve" what they're getting.

Didn't get to see 10% of the movies that came out in 2009 that I wanted to see, so I can't really make a list I feel totally good about, but here's something anyway.

No particular order, I guess.

Antichrist
UP
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Drag Me to Hell
The Hurt Locker
Zombieland was a blast
Coraline

I've been slack and haven't got round to putting Antichrist or Hanger in the player yet but I'm sure they'll make my list.

Oh, yeah! I can't believe I forgot this one. I was super impressed with this one, even with having so much riding on it.
